gator hunts

[MERGANZER]

Anyone have any recommendations on reasonable gator bow hunts available?  Seems like a fun hunt but what I have found it seems to be a pretty expensive hunt and often you don't get the whole animal when its done.  Any info would be great!  Thanks,

I just did it with some buddies, I would just go in with a buy the tag (2 gators per tag) and go.

Where did you do this and what was the cost of the tag?  What equipment is needed for gator bowfishing?  Pics???

thanks

Your pricing doesnt look bad at all compared to some I have seen.  Do you have abrochure that tells whats included?  Do you get entire animal? are there trophy fees in addition? these are the things I would be interested in knowiing as well.  I didnt realize south carolina had a huntable population of gators.

For Georgia and South Carolina you are looking at about 3 years to have enough preference points to draw a tag.

Florida has no preference point system but you are looking at over $1000 for the 2 cites tags if you draw.

You may want to look into hunts in Louisiana and Texas as well.

As for equipment check out these sites:

Merganzer, I did a "How To" thread on this a while back called "Winter Doldrums - How To DIY Florida Alligator Bowhunt". Do a search on here and it should answer most of your questions. I went back again this year and we took four more gators (all the tags we had).

It can be done on a DIY!
